Track Apprentice Review

Learning a multitude of different engineering subjects in BTEC and NVQ performance pieces.

A lot of new skills in relation to the actual job role which will serve me well in year two and three.

I enjoy the company of the other apprentices as well as the facilities and instructors. Some areas I feel could benefit from clarity due to the lack of information on how we transition from year one to year two.

We aren't too sure how we fit in as of yet, though the depot I have visited who will be my work place in the next few years is exceptionally welcoming and fills me with confidence that I am valued

Sometimes the buses are late or do not turn up Some information is not spread as far as it should and so there's some guesswork involved sometimes.

A large amount if I seek it. They are there to get us through the apprenticeship which I appreciate very highly

Some information My depot will be on hand to help with my WBLOs

I will need to move to be closer to my work in the second year

Very few due to the area. I go rowing so I have my own outside interests. Other apprentices have to entertain themselves in the form of snooker.

Yes

A large amount of money in the roles as well as a fair view at progression

Keep trying. I kept trying in the application stage. Also you should know if you want it, and WHY it is that you want it. You should remember this when talking in an interview and the passion will flow
